I don't remember what program you use to do that though.I've done that before. The issue is, any file I copy to the prodos disk (disk image, text file, whatever) show up on the Apple with a filetype $00. These files can't be worked with at all (not even deleted) There is a type change utility floating around, but I have that same chicken-and-egg, catch 22 problem with getting it over to the Apple....
If you have an older Mac and a 3.5" drive on your Apple II, then copy the disk images to a ProDOS formatted 3.5" disk and bring them to the Apple II. Then run UNFORKIT to remove the resource forks from the files and FILE2DSK (or your favorite image-to-disk utility) to copy each image to a formatted 5.25" floppy. This worked fine for me for years, until I got a Superdisk controller for my IIe (which makes transfers using PC 1.44MB 3.5" disks easy). -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
